Burnham-on-Sea , situated at the mouth of the River Parrett on Bridgwater Bay in Somerset , England, began as a humble fishing village until the late 18th century when its popularity as a seaside resort led to significant growth.

This coastal town is part of the Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge parish, sharing a town council with the neighboring market town, Highbridge.

One of Burnham-on-Sea’s iconic features is its low lighthouse, a Grade-II listed building constructed in 1832, boasting a distinctive red and white striped exterior.

Situated on the boundary of the Somerset Levels, where they meet the Bristol Channel, Burnham-on-Sea has a history marked by land reclamation and coastal defenses dating back to Roman times.

The town suffered significant impacts from the Bristol Channel floods of 1607, leading to the construction of the present curved concrete wall in 1988. The area’s waters, particularly the Gore Sands just offshore, have witnessed numerous shipwrecks, often exposed during low tides. Consequently, lighthouses are prominent landmarks in the town.

The Round Tower , the original lighthouse, replaced the light atop St Andrews Church’s 14th-century tower. Subsequently, the 110-foot (34-meter) High Lighthouse and the wooden-pile Lighthouse on legs were erected on the beach. In 1836, Burnham-on-Sea received its first lifeboat, courtesy of the Corporation of Bridgwater.

Norfolk Webcams

Webcams offer an incredible opportunity for potential visitors to get a taste of the wide range of experiences that the Norfolk has to offer – from nature lovers looking to spot Peregrines at Norwich Cathedral, to exploring the Broads and enjoying Norfolk’s idyllic scenery from the comfort of your armchair. Webcams also provide a great way to see if the tide’s in or out and check the surf.

One of the beautiful things about webcams is how viewers can enjoy the changing of the seasons across multiple locations. While most people are likely to visit during the summer, the breath-taking natural beauty of the Broads during autumn and winter should not be missed.

With so many located around the region, there is sure to be a Norfolk webcam to suit every interest. We’ve collected some of our favourite webcams for viewing the scenery, people-watching and enjoying the peaceful Norfolk countryside:

Near Sheringham & Cromer

Sheringham Seafront

(Visit Sheringham) Sheringham’s seafront webcam gives viewers a taste of the outstanding views that can be discovered walking on this charming beach and long promenades, which are part of the Norfolk Coastal Path.

East Runton

(National Coastguard, East Runton) Pans east towards the western beaches of Cromer and towards the pier. And west towards West Runton.

Cromer Beach East

(by Glide Surf School) Handy for checking tide level and surf conditions (and watching the surfers)

Cromer Peregrines Live Stream

(by Cromer Peregrine Project ) Top of Cromer Church. Good view of beach. Donations appreciated by the project.

East Norfolk (including the Broads)

Great Yarmouth Seafront & Gorleston

( Great Yarmouth Council ) NB – You have to scroll down the page to see the video streams A pair of webcams provide a views of Marine Parade of what Great Yarmouth seafront has to offer. The first focuses on the golden mile of seaside entertainments and the second shows views to the north and south of Central Beach. There’s now a third webcam on this page showing Gorleston bandstand, promenade and beach.

Three Rivers Race Webcams – Horning

( Horning Sailing Club ) Horning Sailing Club currently provide six webcams to deliver live coverage of the Three Rivers Race, one of the most noted sailing events on the Broads which is usually held on the first weekend in June.

Potter Heigham Bridge

( Herbert Woods ) In the heart of the broads, Potter Heigham is located on the River Thurne. This webcam is located on a 14 th century bridge in the village and is located next to a marina where holidaymakers can hire boats to explore the broads.

(Barnes Brinkcraft)

(Wroxham Launch Hire)

Hickling Broad Sailing Club

Blakeney & nearby

View from The White Horse in Blakeney

( Glaven Valley , image feed. ) Located at The White Horse Hotel, this webcam is useful for those planning to visit the Blakeney marshes and enjoy some of the finest views in the region. As well as offering a beautiful view itself, the webcam will help visitors to check on tide movements and the weather before setting out.

West Norfolk

Wells Harbour

( Port and Harbour of Wells-next-the-Sea ) This dynamic webcam switches between multiple views, allowing viewers to enjoy the sight of boats coming and going from Wells Harbour. The harbour is thought to be around 600 years old and now welcomes a diverse range of boats.

Burnham Overy Staithe – West + Burnham Overy Staithe – East

( Burnham Overy Boathouse )

Hunstanton South Promenade

( Waterside Bar )

Norwich Cathedral Peregrine Live Webcam

( Hawk and Owl Trust , seasonal only ) This seasonal webcam is ideal for bird-watchers. Thanks to the Hawk and Owl Trust, a nesting platform was installed on the spire of Norwich Cathedral in 2011. Due to the platform’s height and a non-intervention policy, the peregrines are monitored by cameras, allowing viewers to watch the birds nesting and hoping to see eggs hatching in the spring.

Visit the Hawk and Owl Trust website and look under Live Cameras to see other webcams currently available.

Please note: We don’t operate the webcams above.

The operators endeavour to keep their webcams online as much as possible but occasionally there are outages ranging from a few hours to many days.

If you notice the camera is not functioning correctly, it is not necessary to notify us. But if you notice any webcam which appears to be permanently unavailable, let us know and we’ll consider removing the link. Thank you. 🙂

Novosibirsk Live Cam

Bisected by the ob river.

Novosibirsk is a major city located in southwestern Siberia, Russia. It is the administrative center of Novosibirsk Oblast and is the third-largest city in Russia by population, following Moscow and St. Petersburg. The history of Novosibirsk is relatively short compared to many other Russian cities, as it was founded in the early 20th century.

Foundation: Novosibirsk was officially founded in 1893 as a small railway junction, initially named Novonikolayevsk, after Tsar Nicholas II. The Trans-Siberian Railway, a major railway project, played a pivotal role in the city's development and growth.

Growth and Development: The Trans-Siberian Railway brought significant economic opportunities to Novosibirsk. The city rapidly expanded as it became a crucial transportation hub for goods and passengers traveling between western Russia and the Far East. During World War II, Novosibirsk played a critical role as a major industrial and transportation center for the Soviet Union.

Name Change: In 1925, the city's name was changed to Novosibirsk to emphasize its location along the Ob River and its role as a new, modern city in Siberia.

Soviet Era: Novosibirsk continued to grow and develop throughout the Soviet era. It became an important scientific and cultural center, hosting numerous research institutes, universities, and theaters.

Modern Era: After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Novosibirsk, like many Russian cities, faced economic challenges and changes. However, it has managed to adapt to the new economic realities and remains a significant cultural, educational, and industrial center in Russia.

Today, Novosibirsk is known for its vibrant cultural scene, educational institutions, and scientific research. It is also a major transportation hub, with an international airport and a network of railways connecting it to various parts of Russia and beyond. The city's location in Siberia provides it with a unique cultural blend of Russian traditions and Siberian influences. Novosibirsk is home to a diverse population and offers a wide range of cultural, educational, and recreational opportunities for its residents and visitors.

Top Tourist Attractions

Novosibirsk may not be as well-known as some other Russian cities, but it has a unique charm and several interesting tourist attractions to offer. Here are some of the top tourist attractions in Novosibirsk:

• Lenin Square (Ploshchad Lenina): This central square in Novosibirsk is dominated by a giant statue of Vladimir Lenin, the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution. It's a popular gathering spot and often hosts events and festivals.
• Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre: Known as the "Siberian Coliseum," this stunning theater is one of the largest in Russia. It's renowned for its world-class performances, including opera, ballet, and classical music concerts. Even if you don't attend a performance, the building itself is worth admiring.
• Novosibirsk Zoo: This zoo is one of the oldest and largest in Russia. It houses a wide variety of animals, including many rare and endangered species. The zoo is well-maintained and offers a pleasant day out for families and animal lovers.
• Alexander Nevsky Cathedral: This beautiful Orthodox cathedral is an architectural gem of Novosibirsk. Its golden domes and intricate artwork make it a must-visit for anyone interested in religious architecture and history.
• Novosibirsk State Art Museum: Art enthusiasts will appreciate this museum, which features a diverse collection of Russian and Siberian art. The museum displays works from different periods, including icons, paintings, and sculptures.
• Science Museum "Labyrinths of Time": A family-friendly attraction, this science museum is both educational and entertaining. It explores various scientific concepts through interactive exhibits, making it a great place for children and adults alike.
• Museum of Railway Technology: Given Novosibirsk's historical importance as a railway hub, this museum is a fascinating place to explore the history of Russian railroads. It houses a vast collection of vintage locomotives, carriages, and railway equipment.
• Central Park: Novosibirsk Central Park is a relaxing green space where you can take a leisurely stroll, rent a paddleboat on the pond, or enjoy a picnic. It's a popular spot for locals and a great place to unwind.
• Akademgorodok: Located just outside Novosibirsk, this scientific town is home to several research institutes, universities, and a botanical garden. It offers a peaceful escape from the city and a chance to explore the natural beauty of Siberia.
• River Cruises: Novosibirsk is situated on the banks of the Ob River, and taking a river cruise can provide a unique perspective of the city and its surroundings. Many companies offer boat tours and excursions.

These attractions offer a glimpse into the cultural, historical, and natural aspects of Novosibirsk, making it a worthwhile destination for travelers interested in exploring a less-visited part of Russia.

Novosibirsk experiences a continental climate characterized by distinct seasons with significant temperature variations throughout the year. Here's an overview of the climate in Novosibirsk:

• Winter (December to February): Winters in Novosibirsk are long, harsh, and bitterly cold. Temperatures often drop well below freezing, with average lows ranging from -20°C (-4°F) to -30°C (-22°F). Snowfall is common, and the city is covered in a thick layer of snow during this season. The Siberian winter can be challenging, but it also brings a unique charm to the city.
• Spring (March to May): Spring in Novosibirsk starts off cold, but temperatures gradually rise. March can still be quite chilly, with occasional snowfall. As the season progresses, snow begins to melt, and by May, the city starts to thaw. Spring is often short and can be characterized by rapidly changing weather.
• Summer (June to August): Summers in Novosibirsk are relatively short but warm. The city experiences a noticeable increase in temperatures, with average highs ranging from 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F). July is typically the warmest month. Summer is a pleasant time to visit, with longer daylight hours and outdoor activities.
• Autumn (September to November): Autumn brings cooler temperatures, and the city's foliage begins to change colors. September is generally mild, with temperatures slowly dropping. By October, temperatures can range from 0°C (32°F) to 10°C (50°F). November sees a return to colder conditions as winter approaches, and snowfall may occur again.
• It's important to note that Novosibirsk is known for its extreme temperature variations, especially during the transition months of spring and autumn. Additionally, the city experiences a relatively dry climate, with the majority of precipitation occurring in the form of snow during the winter months.

If you plan to visit Novosibirsk, be prepared for cold winters, and pack appropriate clothing and gear if traveling during the colder months. Summers provide more comfortable weather for outdoor exploration and sightseeing.

It is located in the West Siberian Plain, a vast, flat region of Russia characterized by its lowland topography, numerous rivers, and a climate that experiences significant temperature variations throughout the year. Here are some key geographical features and aspects of Novosibirsk:

• River Ob: The city is positioned on the banks of the Ob River, one of the major rivers in Siberia. The Ob River flows from south to north and is an important waterway for transportation and commerce. In the winter, the river often freezes over, allowing for activities like ice fishing and transportation on ice roads.
• Taiga: To the north and west of Novosibirsk lies the Siberian Taiga, one of the world's largest coniferous forest regions. This dense and expansive forest is characteristic of the Siberian landscape and is home to various wildlife species.
• Plain Terrain: Novosibirsk and its surrounding region are part of the West Siberian Plain, a vast expanse of flat and gently rolling terrain. The landscape is dominated by open fields, forests, and wetlands.
• Altai Mountains: Although not located within the city limits, the Altai Mountains are relatively close to Novosibirsk. These mountains, known for their stunning natural beauty, are a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and tourists. They offer opportunities for hiking, camping, and exploring pristine wilderness.
